Everybody who was involved in the preparations for my Husband’s wake, from bar staff to the personnel involved with booking the hall, were extremely kind and helpful and made a sad occasion more bearable. It could not have been better.

Just wanted to let you know what a wonderful evening we had on Saturday …. I would also like to say what a lovely venue the village hall is, everyone involved obviously looks after everything and our guests commented on how lovely it all was. The village hall was perfect for us, all the people I dealt with were very helpful which made the organising really easy.

I chose Willingale Village Hall as the venue for my 40th birthday celebration in June 2010. Lots of my guests hadn’t seen the hall before and a number of them commented that as village halls go it’s impressive. We had plenty of room for dancing and seating in the main hall and having the Cleminson room as a separate space for the buffet – and for anyone wanted to escape for a quiet five minutes – worked well. It was a warm evening so we made use of the decking area outside and the bar staff kept up with the demand of my friends and family, which is no mean feat! I would recommend it to anyone and will no doubt use it again myself in the future

The administration is very good, you and Stuart are great assets to the village. Will almost certainly be back to try the new facilities, although the old ones did our job ok. Willingale village is a beacon for the area …. just shows what a few dedicated people can do.

Very helpful, efficient and friendly handling of booking arrangements and any queries we had.. Lighting, round tables and comfortable chairs with excellent kitchen facilities.

Originally from the area but now living in Worcestershire and wanting a hall anywhere in the Home Counties to celebrate my 70th birthday, I had a huge choice. I could not have chosen better – it is a brilliant venue. Everything went very well and Avril and her team were exceptionally helpful. Although Willingale is very rural it is near the M11 and the facilities of Harlow.

I have attended several events at the hall, including the ‘Will’s and Kate’ wedding celebrations this summer and the Christmas party for the children. I think that the hall itself is excellent, very well prepared and maintained and the staff who run the bar are friendly and welcoming. I would recommend it.

I have on several occasions used the hall for either private functions or Church based events and have found all the Hall facilities, particularly since the upgrade to the toilets etc., to be very suitable for my use
